Studies have shown that imbalances in the gut microbiota can have far-reaching effects on reproductive health. For instance, disruptions in the gut microbiome can trigger chronic low-grade inflammation throughout the body, including the reproductive organs, potentially leading to irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation problems, and decreased sperm quality.
